How a crossfade operates
When the crossfade event is triggered, the time oset (if congured) will start.
In the cue list, a blue status bar in a crossfade event will show the progress of a time oset
Time offset
progress bar
After the time oset has nished, the crossfade will start; this will be either a
down or up crossfade, depending on the current control level. During the
crossfade, the control level will alter at the congured rate, shown on both the
control surface and GUI. Progress is shown in real time on the
Automation screen.
Typical crossfade graph in the Automation screen. The blue vertical bar will travel
from left to right according to the time elapsed and at the congured crossfade rate.
Note: The graph display shows the current longest crossfade in progress. So, if a
delayed crossfade starts during the current one, and it is longer than the current one,
the graph will change to show the new crossfade.
You can manually override the crossfade using the controls in the automation
section of the output bay (see “Manually controlling a crossfade”).
Crossfade groups
Crossfade groups let you choose which channels/buses/groups will contain the
crossfade. These groups are managed at the GUI’s Crossfade Groups screen.
